Methods

SpeechClient

SpeechClient(*, credentials: typing.Optional[google.auth.credentials.Credentials] = None, transport: typing.Optional[typing.Union[str, google.cloud.speech_v1p1beta1.services.speech.transports.base.SpeechTransport, typing.Callable[[...], google.cloud.speech_v1p1beta1.services.speech.transports.base.SpeechTransport]]] = None, client_options: typing.Optional[typing.Union[google.api_core.client_options.ClientOptions, dict]] = None, client_info: google.api_core.gapic_v1.client_info.ClientInfo = <google.api_core.gapic_v1.client_info.ClientInfo object>)

Instantiates the speech client.

Parameters
Name Description
credentials Optional[google.auth.credentials.Credentials]

The authorization credentials to attach to requests. These credentials identify the application to the service; if none are specified, the client will attempt to ascertain the credentials from the environment.
transport Optional[Union[str,SpeechTransport,Callable[..., SpeechTransport]]]

The transport to use, or a Callable that constructs and returns a new transport. If a Callable is given, it will be called with the same set of initialization arguments as used in the SpeechTransport constructor. If set to None, a transport is chosen automatically.
client_options Optional[Union[google.api_core.client_options.ClientOptions, dict]]

Custom options for the client. 1. The api_endpoint property can be used to override the default endpoint provided by the client when transport is not explicitly provided. Only if this property is not set and transport was not explicitly provided, the endpoint is determined by the GOOGLE_API_USE_MTLS_ENDPOINT environment variable, which have one of the following values: "always" (always use the default mTLS endpoint), "never" (always use the default regular endpoint) and "auto" (auto-switch to the default mTLS endpoint if client certificate is present; this is the default value). 2. If the GOOGLE_API_USE_CLIENT_CERTIFICATE environment variable is "true", then the client_cert_source property can be used to provide a client certificate for mTLS transport. If not provided, the default SSL client certificate will be used if present. If GOOGLE_API_USE_CLIENT_CERTIFICATE is "false" or not set, no client certificate will be used. 3. The universe_domain property can be used to override the default "googleapis.com" universe. Note that the api_endpoint property still takes precedence; and universe_domain is currently not supported for mTLS.
client_info google.api_core.gapic_v1.client_info.ClientInfo

The client info used to send a user-agent string along with API requests. If None, then default info will be used. Generally, you only need to set this if you're developing your own client library.
Exceptions
Type Description
google.auth.exceptions.MutualTLSChannelError If mutual TLS transport creation failed for any reason.

__exit__

__exit__(type, value, traceback)

Releases underlying transport's resources.

get_mtls_endpoint_and_cert_source(
    client_options: typing.Optional[
        google.api_core.client_options.ClientOptions
    ] = None,
)

Deprecated. Return the API endpoint and client cert source for mutual TLS.

The client cert source is determined in the following order: (1) if GOOGLE_API_USE_CLIENT_CERTIFICATE environment variable is not "true", the client cert source is None. (2) if client_options.client_cert_source is provided, use the provided one; if the default client cert source exists, use the default one; otherwise the client cert source is None.

The API endpoint is determined in the following order: (1) if client_options.api_endpoint if provided, use the provided one. (2) if GOOGLE_API_USE_CLIENT_CERTIFICATE environment variable is "always", use the default mTLS endpoint; if the environment variable is "never", use the default API endpoint; otherwise if client cert source exists, use the default mTLS endpoint, otherwise use the default API endpoint.

Parameters
Name Description
requests Iterator[google.cloud.speech_v1p1beta1.types.StreamingRecognizeRequest]

The request object iterator. The top-level message sent by the client for the StreamingRecognize method. Multiple StreamingRecognizeRequest messages are sent. The first message must contain a streaming_config message and must not contain audio_content. All subsequent messages must contain audio_content and must not contain a streaming_config message.
retry google.api_core.retry.Retry

Designation of what errors, if any, should be retried.
timeout float

The timeout for this request.
metadata Sequence[Tuple[str, Union[str, bytes]]]

Key/value pairs which should be sent along with the request as metadata. Normally, each value must be of type str, but for metadata keys ending with the suffix -bin, the corresponding values must be of type bytes.
Returns
Type Description
Iterable[google.cloud.speech_v1p1beta1.types.StreamingRecognizeResponse] StreamingRecognizeResponse is the only message returned to the client by StreamingRecognize. A series of zero or more StreamingRecognizeResponse messages are streamed back to the client. If there is no recognizable audio, and single_utterance is set to false, then no messages are streamed back to the client. Here's an example of a series of StreamingRecognizeResponses that might be returned while processing audio: 1. results { alternatives { transcript: "tube" } stability: 0.01 } 2. results { alternatives { transcript: "to be a" } stability: 0.01 } 3. results { alternatives { transcript: "to be" } stability: 0.9 } results { alternatives { transcript: " or not to be" } stability: 0.01 } 4. results { alternatives { transcript: "to be or not to be" confidence: 0.92 } alternatives { transcript: "to bee or not to bee" } is_final: true } 5. results { alternatives { transcript: " that's" } stability: 0.01 } 6. results { alternatives { transcript: " that is" } stability: 0.9 } results { alternatives { transcript: " the question" } stability: 0.01 } 7. results { alternatives { transcript: " that is the question" confidence: 0.98 } alternatives { transcript: " that was the question" } is_final: true } Notes: - Only two of the above responses #4 and #7 contain final results; they are indicated by is_final: true. Concatenating these together generates the full transcript: "to be or not to be that is the question". - The others contain interim results. #3 and #6 contain two interim \results: the first portion has a high stability and is less likely to change; the second portion has a low stability and is very likely to change. A UI designer might choose to show only high stability results. - The specific stability and confidence values shown above are only for illustrative purposes. Actual values may vary. - In each response, only one of these fields will be set: error, speech_event_type, or one or more (repeated) results.
